The Infowatch analytical center presented the results of an annual study of confidential data leaks in the public sector (Central authorities, law enforcement agencies, state-owned companies). In 2018, government agencies accounted for 13.9% of the total number of registered leaks in the world and 23.3% in Russia. The main explanation for the high share of the public sector in Russian leaks is its dominant position in the economy. At the same time, 2/3 of leaks in the segment are intentional, and almost a third (33.3%) of leaks in the global public sector are the information of the "state secret" category.
